Bulgaria's top male tennis player Grigor Dimitrov, aka Grisho, has been kicked out of the London Olympics tennis tournament after losing to Frenchman Gilles Simon.

Not unlike Bulgaria's top female tennis player Tsvetana Pironkova, Grisho lost in the second round Monday night to Simon 3:6, 3:6.

It took Simon exactly 60 minute to crush Dimitrov; he has thus scored 4 wins against the Bulgarian in their 4 matches to date.

Pironkova and Dimitrov still have a chance to perform better at the London Olympics if they get a wild card to participate in the couples tournament. The 16 couples to compete in the tournament will be announced by the organizers on Tuesday.
